Hello from a non-supra owner

sprinter2012 · 28th August 2011, 10:41 PM

Joined the forum as I've been looking into fitting (and aquiring) a set of UK Spec TT calipers for my Lexus IS200.

You have some really good info on how to refurb the calipers etc. So I thought I'd say hello as what I've seen so far is very useful.

I know forum guys love pics so here a few of my IS200...

Hi and Welcome to the club.

IS200 looks pretty nice. Is that the original engine?

Thanks Martin, yes engine is standard with the exception of the custom induction kit I made/fitted.

I wouldn't mind geting a Supra engine in there at some point though.

And a set of TT front calipers too, it's like im subconsciously trying to turn it into a Supra.

Lovely and welcome to the club.

You need some better stopping power then?

Cheers

That's the plan yes, seems like a good little mod to have a go at.

Plus the Supra calipers are widely regarded as one of the best OEM calipers available.

I'm looking to upgrade brakes, suspension and then speed, in that order.
